Title: I’M THAT GUY
(Intro)
Yeah…
They used to ask me what I’m chasing…
I guess they see it now.
(Verse 1)
Back then they ain’t really pay me no mind,
Now they see me moving different, saying, “Damn, you shine.”
Funny how it works when you finally get momentum,
Same people switched up, now they acting like they been there.
Long nights, no sleep, trying to build something,
Everybody got opinions, they ain’t built nothing.
Had dreams bigger than the place that I was stuck in,
Now I’m betting on myself and I ain’t bluffing.
I took losses, I took hits, kept my head down,
Learned real quick who was solid when shit went south.
A lot changed, but I never changed routes,
Still the same kid, just got bigger dreams now.
(Pre-Chorus)
I remember nights nobody called my phone,
Now they hit me up like we’ve been close all along.
Funny how that goes…
(Chorus)
Now I’m that guy,
Used to dream about it, now I’m living what I wrote down.
I’m that guy,
Still got a long way to go, but look at me now.
I came too far to slow down,
Too much work just to turn around.
They can doubt me if they want to…
I’m still gonna be that guy.
(Verse 2)
I ain’t talking money, I ain’t talking fame,
I’m just talking ‘bout becoming who I said I’d be one day.
Had some setbacks, had some people walk away,
But every single loss taught me something I still carry today.
Still got scars that I don’t show,
Still got things that nobody knows.
But pressure made diamonds, that’s the story that I chose,
Now I’m finally seeing everything unfold.
Ain’t perfect, never claimed it,
Still got problems, still got pain with it.
But if I quit, I’d regret it,
So I’m all in till the day that I make it.
(Bridge / Rap)
Yeah, I know what doubt feels like,
Know what it feels like when nothing goes right.
Know what it feels like when you’re all alone,
Still showing up, still putting on.
I kept my head down, stayed patient,
Now they looking at me different lately.
Maybe I ain’t made it yet…
But I’m a lot closer than I used to be.
(Final Chorus)
Now I’m that guy,
Used to dream about it, now I’m living what I wrote down.
I’m that guy,
Still got a long way to go, but look at me now.
I came too far to slow down,
Too much work just to turn around.
They can doubt me if they want to…
I’m still gonna be that guy.
